Leo F*cking Hernandez。

North Boston University’s star running back， notorious bachelor， and number one on my people I would murder if I could get away with it list。

And now？
He’s my new roommate。

I used to think I loved him。
But that was before I hated him。

He doesn’t remember who I am， or how he made my life miserable for years。 And before I unknowingly moved across the street from him， I couldn’t have cared less。 I was living my life despite him and what happened that summer， chasing my dream of becoming a tattoo artist。

“The Pit，” as the university so gracefully nicknamed the house he lives in with three other football players， has served as nothing more than a pain in my ass and a constant reminder of the boy who broke my heart。 Watching him parade his one-night-stands in and out of it never helped， either。

But with rent this cheap and so close to the tattoo shop， I’ve learned to ignore him — no matter how he’s tried to get under my skin。

At least， until this summer。 Because when a water and mold disaster leaves me with no choice but to vacate my house， I have nowhere to go。 And Leo Hernandez offers me a deal I can’t refuse。

Live at The Pit with him and the guys， free of charge， until my landlord fixes this mess。

Ignoring him was easy when I lived across the street， but in the same house， with him shirtless half the time and watching me with his cocky grin and searing gaze？ It’s impossible。

Still， I have to try。 I have to push him away， even when he makes it infuriatingly difficult to do so。

He’s broken my heart once。
I won’t let him do it again。
